Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in exploring the emotional, psychological, and behavioural aspects of their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Obesity is often influenced by complex factors such as trauma, stress, anxiety, and societal pressure, and my approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in understanding each person's unique story. I help clients identify underlying emotional triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more positive and sustainable relationship with their bodies and overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to make meaningful changes while fostering self-acceptance and resilience.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Weight and obesity are often treated as simple issues of willpower, discipline, or appearance — but in reality, they can be deeply connected to trauma, neurodivergence, chronic pain, emotional regulation, burnout, hormones, shame, medical experiences, sensory needs, and the exhausting pressure of constantly feeling judged or “not enough.”
My approach goes beyond shame, blame, or generic advice. Together, we explore the deeper patterns that may be impacting your relationship with food, movement, motivation, self-worth, and your body while working toward more compassionate, realistic, and sustainable change.
This work is not just about weight. It is about understanding yourself more fully, reducing shame, reconnecting with your needs, and building a life and relationship with your body that feels more supportive, meaningful, and workable.

Toronto Psychotherapy Space (TPS Therapy)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW)
Weight and body-related concerns can be connected with self-esteem, body image, emotional well-being, relationships, eating patterns, stress, and experiences of stigma. Our therapists provide compassionate, non-shaming support focused on the whole person rather than a number on a scale. Therapy can help clients explore emotional patterns, strengthen self-compassion, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves and their bodies.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
